Mangroovy 2 Bedroom Sea View Apartment, Pool & Beach

Mangroovy 2 Bedroom Sea View Apartment, Pool & Beach Overview

First Impressions

The Mangroovy 2 Bedroom Sea View Apartment, Pool & Beach sits right at the entrance to El Gouna, which honestly works out perfectly — you’re close enough to everything but far enough from the main tourist chaos. I mean, this three-star property might not scream sophistication, but it’s got something better: that genuine Red Sea charm without the pretense. The moment you pull up, you’ll notice the free parking right on site, which is actually a bigger deal than you’d think in this area.

Location & Getting Around

You know what really struck me about this place? The location rating of 9.7 from recent guests isn’t just marketing fluff — it’s spot on. Being positioned at the El Gouna entrance means you’re literally minutes from the lagoons and about a 20-minute drive to central Hurghada. The couples who stay here (and there are quite a few) seem to love how it feels secluded but connected. You can walk to several dining spots, and honestly, the whole El Gouna vibe is just more relaxed than the main resort strips.

The Apartment Experience

The two-bedroom setup actually feels spacious — not cramped like some vacation rentals can be. Each room has decent air conditioning (crucial in this heat), and the sea view from the main living area is genuinely nice, especially during sunset. The kitchen is functional enough if you want to grab groceries from the local market and cook something simple. I appreciated having that option, particularly for breakfast or late-night snacks when you don’t feel like heading out.

Pool & Beach Access

The pool area is where this place really shines — it’s not huge, but it’s clean and rarely crowded. You’ll find yourself spending more time here than you’d expect, especially in the afternoon when the sea breeze picks up. Beach access is straightforward, and the water is that incredible Red Sea blue that photos never quite capture. The snorkeling right off the shore is decent too, though you’ll want to bring your own gear or rent from one of the nearby shops.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a five-star resort with a fancy spa and white-glove service, but that’s sort of the point. Couples keep coming back because it feels like having your own little slice of the Red Sea without the resort crowds. The 8.6 rating reflects what you actually get — solid accommodation, great location, and that relaxed El Gouna atmosphere that’s hard to find elsewhere along this coast. Plus, having your own space means you can actually unwind instead of constantly being “on” like you are in traditional hotels. The staff is helpful without being intrusive, and honestly, sometimes that’s exactly what you need for a proper getaway.
